A YORK man faces jail for making two bomb hoaxes on different days to a Scarborough store.
Ian David Hood, 36, of Bell Farm Avenue, Huntington, pleaded guilty to communicating false information with intent.
He admitted that on October 28 and November 4 last year, he falsely told two different people that there was a bomb at the Boyes store in Scarborough.
Judge Peter Charlesworth adjourned the case for psychiatric and pre-sentence reports and released Hood on bail, warning him that "a prison sentence is almost inevitable". Hood will return to York Crown Court in about six weeks time.
